He used the financial freedom he gained from this to pursue his first love - electronic music and inventing. He was a prolific inventor, patenting many devices -nearly all of which involved the electronic production of sound. These ranged form the whimsical - items such as the psychedelicdoorbell and the electronic cocktail glass (it played a tune when lifted up) to the heavyweight. He is credited with building and inventing the first sequencer one of many music making devices he made - the highpoint ,culminating in the Electronium (sp?) - a device which not only played music, but composed it as well. This was developed over many years, and like many of his works was constantly being rebuilt. Eventually he sold one to Berry Gordy, head of Motown, and ended up working for him in California. These devices were built in Scott's workshop , which occupied an entire floor of his large house, and was filled with every sort of tool and machine he might need. In pictures it resemble a sci-fiparadise full of his own inventions, most of which were huge by today's standard - often built with electric relays and telephone switches where transistors and I.C.s might be used today. Though he boult many things he did not exploit them commercially (except to produce his own music) and his work was not widely known about - largely due to his excessive, if nor paranoid, secrecy and refusal to publish.
